So….Here I am… With the after-effects and after-glow of my first trip… And what I can say straight from the beginning is that it was amazingly incredible! My brain still seems a bit slowed down but the feeling is not worst than not having a good nights rest… Maybe even that is to be blamed…
Recreating the indescribable chain of visuals and thoughts seems nearly impossible… I can remember every part of it… Every pattern, every thought… No exception… But putting it down in words is another story…
So here goes… My best friend (let’s call him T 
) and I got our hands on some so called magic mushrooms and decided to head out . In the middle of nature seemed like the best place to take them according to all the suggestions… And so we did… Went to our weekend house in a village… Pretty nice place, beautiful hillside behind the house with a bit of forest-like area. After finishing our chores we found ourselves on a hill looking down on a small stream of water and a few houses that ware ending the village. Seemed like a great spot to sit down enjoy the view… And eat some shroomes.
And so we did… We decided to go with around 2 grams each for our first trip. We took our time consuming them. We aren’t in a hurry so there was no use to gobble them up. Had a few things with us to drop off at the house so we headed back in a calm and relaxing pace. When we got to the house we were feeling slight effects occurring. We were pretty hungry but put off eating till now so it won’t interfere with the effectiveness of the shrooms… But now that we felt the effects, we decided to go up on the hillside and have a sandwich. We sat down, got out the food and that’s when things really started happening! I just couldn’t chew the sandwich. It was sooo hard to concentrate on chewing. I took one bite of it and my mind wandered off on the trees in front of us that started to imitate a snakes movement. I was amazed and dazed. But somehow not surprised, nor scared. It all felt natural. While I was wondered off, my friend managed to eat his sandwich…(and this was the source for one of his later jokes which made me feel bad in that altered state) So after returning my thought to my sandwich, which was really hard, I decided to focus on it and eat as much as I can, after all I haven’t eaten much all day. Yeah… I managed to take another 3 bites, repacked it and kicked back to enjoy the stronger and stronger effects of the small magical thingies… Laying on the grass I was looking at the clouds which had no form really but ware all 3D with strange patterns… It looked amazing! Different thoughts arose in our mind and felt like I have to say it out loud so T can enjoy those thoughts too. But just couldn’t. It was so hard to start talking… But once one of us managed to start, a whole narration appeared out of nowhere with beautiful descriptions of our visuals or current thoughts… T started telling a joke… Which came out as a long ass joke but I was so happy with my clouds it didn’t even bother me… And I also paid attention to most of it. Then T turned face down on the ground and started watching the array of beautiful colors and patterns… I was still happy with my sun-enlightened clouds… But was curios what he was looking at so I turned face down… And we started telling each other what we were seeing, and interestingly, for the short amount of time I was face down we saw the same colors and patterns. It sounds interesting now, but at the moment it didn’t even occurred to me to further test it. What T was seeing didn’t seem interesting to me at all so I opened my eyes and looked at different things that were changing around me. We started joking about the our own world… and arguing who’s world is better… and laughed allot on this theme even later on… But it felt like a child’s laugh… innocent and sincere…
So i get up on my knees and im trying so hard to say what I want … But I just couldn’t till T asked me what Im doing… So then I manage to say what I want…To move to another place cause im bored of this one… We both decided to go… We started walking… Which felt strange… It seemed hard to coordinate the 2 feet, but then again both legs felt really easy. So we walk for a bit on the forests side and I see a really cool passage through the woods… I didn’t want to go through it just look at it… But couldn’t sit down there cause the hill was leaning the wrong way. So I decide to go 2 steps further and sit on a pile made by a mole… But then I lost the awesome looking passage way and the random trees just didn’t seem interesting… So I followed T’s example and laid down resting my head on the same pile I was gonna sit on, and he had his head on… The quite seemed so relaxing… We both were alone with our thoughts and visual effects… Me with my clouds and T with his closed eyed shapes and forms. In the clouds now I saw the shapes of roman gladiators and chariot racings, and woman in roman clothing cheering for them… As a static picture, but slowly moving away form the sun and new forms appearing. Being dazzled by what I saw, one time I even forgot my eye open I was so amazed and had to close them for a few minutes… Then I started talking and describing the beautiful things I’m seeing. Then I got curious again about what T was looking at and turned my head over to what he was amazed by. And in that moment we both noticed a castle in between 2 mountains. It looked like a beautiful painting of a castle, and seemed to be getting closer, and becoming more ugly. We made a few jokes about it and I moved on to the next thing that seemed interesting… Can’t recall what it was… During my trip I got lost in sooo many details its indescribable and even hard to count. I remember T saying at one point that the mountains are moving in waves… Ahhhh… Good times… Listening to the others narrations, narrating yourself and enjoying the silence and the sounds of nature around us were in a contest for which was more pleasant… We made another few jokes about each-others world and that I wanted to nose in T’s world. But it was all so relaxing and pleasant… Like everything around us was in harmony, and felt like nature accepted us back in her arms…
Then I decided I want to move on… Again… And convincing myself to move on was hard even for myself… I can imagine that T wasn’t to enthusiastic about the new expedition, feeling which he expressed in jokes, so we laughed again. But slowly we got up and wandered through the woods. At this point I got obsessed with a beautiful flower, it had so many colors… But didn’t camp here, we moved on… T found a big cut-down tree on which he acted childish, trying to balance and stay on it… But his actions seemed so natural and I joined in on the fun for a but… During all the wandering I had a strange feeling that I’m supposed to lead myself and T somewhere…
We strolled back near the place we first ate the magical shrooms. (Jokes about why did we leave in the first place…)When we sat down felt the effects of it being weaker… T got upset with me that all the walking I made him do used up the shroomes power and that his trip ended… He noted he had a 3 hour trip…I still felt some of the effects… but noticeably weaker… I started looking at the “almost sunset”… All the clouds near the sun ware pinkish and eye-dazzling… After a while I noticed the quite that formed… Being silent and sitting in one place intensified the effects. At this point I was positive T is still tripping. So gathering willpower to speak out again, I mention this and he confirms his still tripping… I then say that I was thinking if I wanted to move on, but this place where we are now feels like we have arrived to our destination. We sat there for a while quite, enjoying nature with different eyes than normal… Peaceful, relaxing and incredibly beautiful…
We started talking again and decided to head for home… But without any hurries… Again T says his trip is over… I really didn’t believe him this time but without any further convincing we headed out… after walking 100-200 meters I notice that the sunset is dazzling my eyes again… So I sit down on that very place where I noticed this and stare at the intense and, at the same time, relaxing colors of the sky. At one moment T mentions he is seeing the vibrations of the birds song… At that moment this appeared as the most natural thing in the world… Didn’t seem extra-ordinary at all…
Feeling the effects getting weaker and weaker we headed home, but we chose the path through the village… It was such a strange sensation seeing other people… Like I have been living alone in the wild for years… It was pleasant to even see them… We wandered really slowly toward home. With every step it felt like the world is slowly returning to normal. Arriving to the house we finally sat down to eat… After about 6 hours of trippin’. We had food with us all the time… We just didn’t think of eating, or we just couldn’t… I turned on my laptop and put on some ambient music… I really thought my trip has ended but the music was pulling me in with it into another relaxing calm… It felt amazing! After eating most of the food we went out for a bit again and relaxed some as most of the effects faded away…
And without a hurry we packed up and headed home, with T driving… During the drive home we both felt the music trying to take us away to another world… But we had to resist it and we got home luckily, without any problems…
I know much I wrote down wouldn’t make any sense to anyone else who wasn’t there… I’m really happy we had a great trip(not counting the small ups and downs). I had the best trip-partner I could imagine. And if anyone has any chance of trying out magic mushrooms in a peaceful, relaxing environment I highly recommend it. And before anyone asks, No, I’m not “hooked on the stuff”. It was a really nice experience, worth repeating… But only at the perfect place, at the perfect time, with the perfect friends… And to coordinate all this is pretty hard…
Thank you all for having the patience to read my long story… Hope you found it interesting enough to get to the end… No one really knows where we ware, what we did, what we felt, thought and saw on that day, except for the two of us… Putting this experience in words even now seems impossible, after finishing the story… The visuals, the beauty, the calm, the chain of thoughts, the laughter and nature through different eyes… Indescribable…
